Running total of 600kcals. Cinema snacks of dehydrated kale, celeriac, peas with semi-dried tomatoes and a glucomannan shake. So, just about within my maintenance allotment but I may need to swap something if I need another Tbsp of MCT because of the heat.

So far I have only had coffee. I had an out of control day yesterday calorie-wise, so need to bring that back into balance again. I have no plans today, so I will go home and clean the house and then probably read a book. I'm going to attempt eating nothing and having an all-liquid day today. We'll see how it goes!

I'm allowing for higher DDs, just getting into the swing of it and not fussing too much.

B: about 1.5c cereal, and almond milk (200 together give or take)
L: not sure, maybe just some veggies. Need to get to the store
D: probably fish and salad.
maybe some cantaloupe for dessert if anything.

lots of fluids, wow, is it hot here. 33 celcius, with humidity feels like 42 they say (that's like 107F).

Not quite sorted yet. We decided that instead of just replacing the floors with the same stuff (which is what the insurance company would do, minus our deductible... so really, no win there) we wanted new floors. And since the cabinet where the dishwasher is has to come down... new cabinets. And since I have WHITE melamine counters that stain all the time... new counters.
and since I don't have enough room-- more cabinets (there's an eat-in area that is already makeshift storage, so we'll make that permanent with all new stuff).

I have the picture of the new design up on my blog, see my signature They start July 29th, and hopefully finish before August is over!

Holy cow, you turned down chocolate, kismet??? I am not sure I could do that...DD or not!

Soren, how fabulously fun to get a new kitchen!!!! I need to start wishing for a flood!!! ph boy would I love some money for home improvements. (So not gonna happen any time soon here!)

Boring usual for me today. (Coffee & tummies, so 70 cals) Probably good since this is my last one for a few weeks! I shudder to think about it, but we are driving out to Yellowstone for a 10 day trip on Friday. I better enjoy today's boring while I can!

Your trip sounds exciting to me, Flutter!!! Bf and I could not do a long driving trip like that, lol. I think we'd kill each other before we made it one way.

My DD has gone well. I'm at 354 calories, which is 20%. Of course, I always want my special coconut bar before the night's over, which would take me to 500 (is there a shrug smiley ). I will have one if I feel like I can't do without.

We really do need another way of expressing hospitality or celebrations, don't we.

It's a kind instinct but it should be left up to people to decide if they want to partake (when they know it's there) - it definitely shouldn't be left on your desk.

It was accidental...she just forgot them. But she would not be back for several days so I didn't want them just sitting there staring at me She got them from the vending machine (the crummy packaged type) and goes to the vending machine quite often. I think it was a case of "hospitality" as you put it since she thinks giving people food shows she likes them. I wish she'd give me money instead

Yeah, I wish I could say, just give me the two dollars that you spent on that. (I could save up. Just saying. )

Flutter, I am addicted to Eddy's frozen coconut bars. There's no chocolate though, lol. 120 calories, but worth every one! The new ones they've come out with, Coconut Waters (mixed with pineapple), are not nearly as good and more calories. They taste like popsicles with a lot of water in them (duh, coconut waters), but the regular coconut bars are divine.

Huh, never heard of those, LG! I will have to look for them. (or maybe not, if they're that addicting!) LOL!

Ummm yea, I would not want any cupcakes left on my desk!!! Good for you chasing her down, kis! I like LG's idea. Maybe you should have a piggy bank on your desk with a sign that says "If you're tempted to give me junk food, kindly deposit the change here instead."

Soren, how fabulously fun to get a new kitchen!!!! I need to start wishing for a flood!!! ph boy would I love some money for home improvements. (So not gonna happen any time soon here!)

it's fun, but not, ya know?

also, insurance is NOT paying for this. They would've paid to replace the floor with what we had, which was vinyl and laminate in the family room.

We wanted to reno, but in like 2yrs after saving up for it.... so, we're having to bite the bullet and figure this out now, b/c putting in a nice floor and then reno-ing later, would've been weird, to us.
